Deconstruction of an existing AS film opening

Retribution
From watching this film opening I have identified it to be a Thriller

• The opening titles are set on a dull and dingy concrete walls with elements of industrial features.
• The typography layered on top has been stylised to look like blood. 
• The typography doesn't fit in completely with the opening. 
• For a film in the genre of thriller I expect the titles to be more sharp and clean cut. 
• The titles alone are not the best and quite poorly attempted.

• Non diegetic music is used throughout however has some breaks. 
• The non-diegetic music consists of synthesisers which are on a constant loop until it fades out into another non-diegetic piece of music which synth orientated further into the sequence when the victim enters the building the original piece of music returns. 
• The non-diegetic synth music is face paced and does create tension however doesn't maintain a steady flow.
• Throughout the film opening there is the use of some diegetic sounds such as the heavy breathing in the POV and as well as footsteps and a scream in the final scene of the opening.

• Throughout the film opening there was a range of shots used such as close ups, long shots and mid shots
• In the opening they incorporated in the POVs of the antagonist chasing after his victim. Which was interesting as you never saw the villain's identity
• Their use of camera movements are very limited and only use POVs.
• Within the sequence they did use the angles usefully by using high angles to show the girl's vulnerability. However didn't use many.

• In the terms of the film opening's editing it was very simple.
• They display a simple understanding of editing with straight cuts and fading transitions
• The opening was fairly face paced which is expected of a film in the genre of thriller.
• The cuts were fairly quick but weren't fast enough to give the opening 

• The teenager girl is dressed in a typical casual attire which can relate to the target audience being roughly 15-20. 
• As for the villain the are dressed in black and unidentifiable through the use of a hooded jumper/jacket. 
• To complete this mysterious black look they should have completed the outfit with black shoes. 

• The choice of weapon for the villain was a knife. Which ties into the thriller genre, as it is typical to use identifiable weapons.
• Some of the locations were more carefully selected than others. 
• The isolated look was not complete due to the people walking in the background in the earlier shots. 
• However the concrete building area was well chosen due to the dark and eerie tone

• Natural daylight was used mostly throughout.
• There was also use of artificial light coming from the victim's phone.
• Usually in thriller films the lighting is low key and well as having an extensive use of shadows.

• Overall, the film opening sequence was fairly appropriate for the thriller genre.
•  It had fast paced tense music and was primarily based around a problem where the protagonist must escape.
•  It also captured  a few elements of suspension in the chase. 
• Thrillers are primarily a villain driven plot and the sequence captures this.
• The target audience for this sequence would be roughly 15 to 20 year olds (15+ rating).
•  There is no violence in this sequence but there is the use of weapons which implies there is to be some. 
• The opening would appeal to it's target audience with the choice of character as the victim is young female who dresses casual yet fairly on trend to a typical teenager.
